Bertie with a clever ride right there. to come back. For once Froome's stem let him down! 
Talansky really surprised me with a pretty good ride there. Thought this would be a stage he would lose a lot, not a climb that suited him at all, but he paced himself very well.

WoW, interesting amongst the favotites, Contador a lot better than I would expect. Froome knocked down by Quintana, looking forward to the next chapter.

Quintana shutting some mouths today! All hail to the new (at least temporary) leader
The real surprise for me was Contador though. I could see him abandoning the race already, just like it happened in the Tour... but nope, he actually beat Froome today.
Talansky with a very good performance too. |

Quintana is a bad rider, he is overrated. Froome beats Quintana every time. Contador will never do well in a GT again. Froome is the greatest.

Pardilla needs a new contract, that's intriguing.

Haimar Zubeldia in the 33th place of the overall standings...
It will never cease to amaze me that this guy is actually STILL racing, LOL. |

Again lose Movistar stage victory. The overrated Quintana looks good out, so maybe he can improve his third place to second place. |

can't wait on the quintana haters, claiming that the vuelta doesn't matter or that froome is tired after tour/olympics/whatever. THE REAL FROOME DOESN'T GET TIRED.
Froome doesn't tire but his STEM gets worn out by the end of the season. |

Very impressive from Quintana. He certainly looked strong yesterday.
However, I wouldn't say yesterday was a true mountain finish. Can he do the same on a 10,15,20k summit finish?
Also, he's done that to Froome on single stages before. He needs to carry it on for another 2 weeks now.
Contador proved alot of people wrong but I think the accumulated sleep disrupted nights due to his injuries may tell eventually. Also he's got too much time to make up at this stage.
Whatever happens it's going to be an exciting couple of weeks. |

There are 3 of those: Lagos, Aubisque, Aitana
And those are exactly the ones he prefers. Todays climb, lead-up and hot weather definitely favoured Froome over Quintana, but he just was so much better today and that will transition into 'real' climbs' since thats what Quintana is best at. |

He may prefer them but more often than not Froome beats him up them.
History has proven Froome to be better than him over 3 weeks. In most grand tours Quintana has one day where he puts 30-60 seconds into Froome. The question is whether or not he can maintain that over the next 2 weeks on the real mountains. |

Froome must just not destroy itself with an attack, that gives others opportunity to counter-attack. (When freshness and form are in the top, he is so good that it doesn't matter, but it is not the case now) Just follow with, let the others accelerates away, drive them into your own pace, just follow with and wait on time trial.
Contacrash can maybe become dangerous in the third week, when all other becomes more and more tired after a tough season. |
